Are you telling us that beautiful tree is artifical? If it's turning...that is my guess. I wish I could find one that full. It looks so real!
I had one of those ugly red with white fringe tree skirts, but my in-laws had a pretty one. So after having our tree up for a while...I remembered I had it in a box on the closet shelf and brought it down. The red and white one is now gone..LOL

Yes, the tree is artificial. My family isn't very crazy about it but it holds a lot more of my ornaments than a real one and doesn't leave the mess. Also I can put it up a lot earlier without worrying about it drying out. We bought it right after we moved in here from K-mart. I think that we got a pretty good deal on it. It does have some places that the branches don't hang quite right and it looks like it has holes in between the branches but I just don't worry about it. It is really nice and full!

Yippee for K-mart. That's where we got ours too years ago. It's been working out fine. Except, ours doesn't turn I'm envious. That would be too darn cool!!!!!!
You are so talented with a needle and thread Diana. I can't sew worth poop.  I wasn't able to put our tree skirt on this year. Ummmm, I guess one of the fur kids pottied on it last year and I wasn't aware. Well, I put it away in a bin for the year and then took it out this year. OMG  that horrible puppy potty smell. I thought maybe i could wash it but it said do not wash OR dry clean. I thought it was ruined. I first sprayed an enzyme solution on it and tried airing it out for days on end. That didn't work. Last ditch effort before throwing it away I thought id just soak it in the washer w/ Oxy Clean then spin dry. What did I have to lose right? Well, it turned out great. No more smell. I never did put it under the tree though. Already stuff under there. So I will use it again next year. I was thrilled I didn't have to throw it out. I really love it. It's different fabrics in velvet/velour or whatever it's called in a quilting pattern.

Diana,
Your decorations are so beautiful!! I love the Hallmark village on the shelves, and the tree is magnificent. You have that magic touch!

Wow Diana, how pretty!
I love the shelves with the villages and the strings of beads. I have a bunch of beads too but no energy to put them out this year. Well done!
